TRD Aurion

Worst case scenario is replacing the handbrake assembly with the PBR Gen5+ handbrake setup.

Or I just buy them off him. Same same different.

[spyderone]

its out!

the crater left behind

the bad news is the idler mount is bent and cracked, looks like things are on hold till I can source a replacement

[trentmeyer23]

Holy crap, I'm actually surprised there isnt much damage to the engine considering.

[httttt]

Great project you have going.

You said you were upgrading a Standard 2GR-FE but what is it in or what are you putting it in?

2nd Dibs on Seats if Andrew pulls out.

Around $1600 (from memory) if you order through a dealer :(

Ouch if that really is the case. Wouldn't surprise me though knowing crazy Toyota.

[Andrew357]

Ouch on the idler mount! I'd bring it to an engineering shop and get them to fabricate one to specifications. It'd still be better than $1600!!!

And on the seats issue, I am out of the running. Steven, DJKOR, trentmeyer23, Ghost 5, The Viking and I (team effort) had a play around + inspected the seats and confirmed that the entire mount and rail assembly from the ACV36/MCV36 to ACV40/GSV40 models are very different. I can't even switch the rails and by the time you factor in the extra costs it's not worthwhile. :(

So HT has the 'rights' to the seats

I gather the donk is ok ? i was after manifold and cat setup if not.

How about posting pics of the rest of the car for us to see.

You haven't answered my question of how much the write-off was :)

Maybe because it's none of your business.

Slim chance since the owner isnt willing to strip it.. YET

You might want to keep your eye on this one to replace your idler mount.

Both the exhaust manifolds have sustained some damage/bent around the cat joint area , the rear one actually cracked as per pic below, I’m not sure what mods you had planned for them, but if your reasonably handy and have the equipment they are easily fixed. Yours if you want them.

Did they pick up the caliper from the otherside after the accident and throw it in the car? I'm still up for the rears and maybe the single front side as well

no they didn't pick it up, I'm trying to get hold of a replacement as I guess 3 calipers/discs aren't going to be much use to anyone

I’m hanging out for some further information in about a week or so ...as I may be able to source a new one at a drastically reduced price, if that falls through I will be looking into both your suggestions thanks guys.

Hey mate, if you only have the 3 then that is fine. I can try and source one when I have the time to actually put them into use.

Navigation is optional despite of Model. Just apparently the previous owner didnt bother. Just stating a point. :)

Sounds kinda odd but I wouldn't mind the entire contents of the boot; spare tyre, trims, tools and especially the carpet...
